Here is hoping every skater skates a program he can be proud of. They all work very hard and their families sacrifice much six and half minutes of skating. So I hope they all do well but one that skates the best of all wins. I know it is a dream but here is hoping some of it comes trued for the skaters

I know I'm not the first one to say it but sending Kovtun instead of Menshov was the most stupid thing ever done by Russian fed. I saw him winning over Michal Brezina at NRW and I tell you I strongly believe he could've been Top 10 here. Especially the way the way quads are judged right now.

well they are paying for it now.
wonder what TAT is thinking of now, this was also part of her idea

Kovtun having a much higher interpretation score than the only skater who skated before him, Justus Strid, is a ridiculous joke. Strid actually made an effort to relate to the music, portray a character and perform to the audience. And yet his IN score is almost a point lower than Kovtun's. Those judges should be ashamed of themselves, if such an emotion could possibly exist in an ISU employee.

Him having two programs of terrible meltdowns is bad enough.

Absolutely. He had no senior experience and wasn't good at russian nationals. THey were all very wrong to send him and hope they don't punish him for their mistake. He was bad an awful but he was in russian nationals.
